This scholarship info. has been updated since I originally posted in July. It now reads:

"Trott Family Scholarship (5 awards at $30,000 each)
The Trott Family Scholarship is funded by Association Member Byron Trott, Chairman and CEO of BDT & Company.

DEADLINE TO APPLY: SEPTEMBER 25

High school senior planning to attend Ohio State University
Will submit an application for early decision/early action (by Nov. 1)
Academic achievement (minimum grade point average (GPA) of 2.5)
Applying for this scholarship will also make you eligible for national/state scholarship awards"

also from link in original posting critical financial need is defined

"General Eligibility
The following criteria applies to all programs below:

Critical financial need ($55,000 or less adjusted gross income per family is required)
Integrity and perseverance in overcoming adversity
United States citizenship"

Ohio State usually allows stacking of outside scholarships up to CoA, so the National Buckeye award of $13,500 this year http://undergrad.osu.edu/cost-and-aid/merit-based-scholarships plus the $30,000 should be enough for oos tuition, room, board and books/supplies. Plus, the university provides every entering freshman with an iPad Pro to use for their studies.

This scholarship deadline is Sept. 25, 2018 for current seniors applying to Ohio State for Fall 2019. Yes, the scholarship application is due well before the early action deadline of the school. Yes, you can (and should) submit your application for this scholarship even if you have not yet submitted your application to Ohio State.

The application will also serve as your application to the state/national Horatio Alger scholarships as well.
